Bigbear and Fierce Tiger-

fu bo kuen- thankyou for your honesty

F.tiger & fubokuen
thank you for your comments
it is nice to be able to talk about topics we love with people that understand and that have mutual respect for each other.
F.T, as always, it is nice to hear your comments about topics. your knowledge of the arts is respectable.i’d be interested in your history of BMP. the similarities etc.
Fubokuen, i know little about you, but from your recent posts, i gather our systems aren’t that different. body postures, power generation etc. seems very similar. i would like to know more about BFP.
thankyou 
Bigbear,
Interesting to hear that you breathe in when you do the biu tse. I breathe out during that movement. And since it is an attack I find that more natural.
Do you have a specific reason to breathe in with that move?
Regards, Lau
lau,
you can use it as both, if you use it in rising you can up root your opponent, set up for a seizing hand then follow as sinking with the rear hand exhaling, locking waist, sink shoulder,ribs elbow when striking. thats the basic bil tze choom choy.
if you use it to exhale you would simply be striking your opponent while you sink this will not allow you to up root properly, plus when sinking especially bil tze if your opponent is taller than you, you will not have the reach and the proper alingment for that strike.
in my jik bo kuen ther is a move that we breath in and sinkchi and posture not rising, then bil tze choon choy explodes in 2 short exhales with still air packed down in dan tian.
hope this helps you a little bit

Do you have a specific reason why you breathe in with the biu tse? Do you breathe in with all the biu tse’s in the other forms?

Biu Jee is usually short burst breath out…
But if it’s like a biu sau before lap sau chung chui it’s a fundamental float up “in breath” and then out for the grab and punch.
Sometimes its hard to say since to “breathe normal” is to let the body actions set the breathing and then there’s breath methods that allow breathing in and out in various partial breaths to become natural.
bak mei breathing
Lau,
we use it primarily to uproot the opponent, so yes it is done with breathing in. however when you bridge and it is close range, you can use bui ji to attack the throat,eyes or muscle points on the shoulder region, in this instance you’d breathe out not in.
i feel more at ease with breathing in while doing bui ji because we rise then fall while punching.
you have to breathe in initially with bui ji.
however, depending on the speed of your techniques you might take a deep breathe and perform 3 moves while breathing out in short spirts.
the shorter the breathe, the quicker the technique. our forms are there to guide and educate us the fundamentals of kung fu.
hope this explains, sometimes it is hard to put in words what the mind knows.
Thank uor, Dwid. Could somebody please tell me who are some legitimate sifus of this style in the United States?

Breathing in!
When you breath in you can manouever easily. So in jik bo the bui tse, you breath in to manouver. You strike when you sink your ma bo.(more power)
It is very hard to move when you sink, but that is not to say the bui tse cannot be used to attack!!!
In Lap Sau when do you breath in?
F.T why do you have two short breaths?

cloud1,
you must never breathe out fully exhaling and emptying your lungs. i was taught to recircle the breath (still have air inside dan tian). this is important because you can easily get winded when you have NO air, you can also get winded when you start to breath in. That is a basic understanding.
second - have you ever done a form fast, each move breathing in & out? i used to do this method until my Sifu discovered why i was out of breath. this will tire you out, you must circulate the breathing. for your strikes to become explosive, breaths are in short bursts, letting a little out each move in a combination.
you waste more energy breathing in & out as a separate technique. that is why alot of people cannot move fast, because they have exhaled everything. of course at the end of a technique you would exhale and sink your stance and chi.
peace
